Well stated. As it was by Cruz. All the panicked responses here by Trump supporters to the effect that ‘Cruz lied, of course Trump’s mom was a citizen when he was born,’ was evidence that either they didn’t understand this simple point or they recognized Cruz scoring big on their guy. What I haven’t seen anyone point out yet was that Cruz presented extreme argument as one he’d heard from others that questioned Trump’s eligibility, not one he was making himself. A tactic that Trump supporters might recognize! Just like Cruz’s “New York, New York” comments were matching response to Trump playing “Born in the USA” at his rallies.
Its all handing out turkeys and BS to trump.
That is what he does.
Ted argues for the constitution, that is what he does.
I got it, that it wasn't his argument, and that he didn't think it had play. What Cruz was doing was good debate tactic, muddy the waters and note that there are kooks on both sides of the issue.
Does nothing to advance the substance, which is smart by Cruz. Also does nothing to address the "get it resolved" point of view that many people agree with.
Cruz will produce a CRBA in the next day or two, and the issue will fade pretty quickly, without being truly resolved.
